Description

Syndicate No. 01 is a blend of strong ales matured in American bourbon barrels ranging from 12 to 24 months. The base of the blend is our Old Godfather Barleywine (51%) which was aged in bourbon barrels for over 2 years. Two different Imperial Stouts, Black Hand Volume I (15%) and Two Minutes to Midnight (14%) introduce rich dark chocolate notes and a creamy mouthfeel. Final additions of barrel- aged Betrayal Imperial Red (11%) adds notes of dark fruit and toffee malt, Double Daddy (5%) imparts a bright, fruit-forward hop spice and Payback Porter (3%) introduces subtle notes of bitter cocoa.
The final blend is rich with aromas of bourbon, vanilla bean and dark fruit, with complex flavors of burnt caramel, leather & spice, coconut, and toasted oak.
